8/10 Very good

Beautiful location, room with wonderful view, but with room service as major option, expected more than a tiny table with one chair. Room service advertised as 24/7, but ended at 2130 in reality. Location with nice views, but so hilly and steep, shuttle service a must, sometimes excellent, sometimes a wait. Room refresh daily mixed, didn't refresh mini bar (if you can call it that), not all towels always replaced. Strange. Staff all super friendly and worked hard to please, but the room service issues never were fixed. Small pools, limited restaurants, esp for non preferred status guests. High pressure sales for Unlimited vacation club. Excursions nice, a wee bit costly, but good, though lotsa driving to get anywhere. Not my favorite Secrets experience, liked Jamaica better, but that was pre pandemic, so who knows

2/10 Poor

Check-in was chaos, 3 different people coming at us talking all at once, "Preferred" check-in area, more chaos, had to wait for one of the 5 people there could check us in. Angie was rude, focused on getting payment. I thought I had already paid a deposit and she challenged me for confirmation. Never had I had to pay for a hotel prior to check out. I was wearing dress linen shorts and was not allowed in Portofino. Fabrizio, the waiter seemed to be in a rush, had no clue what a mocktail was and did not care to explain available rum choices. Said they were the same rums as everywhere else in the hotel. Dealing with staff, always seemed that it was everyone’s first day or that they had never been asked for hot milk for the coffee, or put lots of ice in a drink, or bring the entire can of coke to the table. Something as simple as asking for a shuttle and have our rental car brought to the lobby seemed to cause confusion. I know English is not the first language, it seemed that the people did not clearly understand. I speak Spanish and even then it was very hard to communicate. The food was meh, felt pre-prepared and no effort to make it look or taste good, except for the Seaside Grill, that was the one positive about the food. Hotel was dilapidated, the grounds not landscaped, pool straight out of the ‘70s. Making teppanyaki reservation was super hard. Zero Attention to Detail, zero customer service, spelling errors and inconsistent translations everywhere. Disappointed.

8/10 Very good

What we liked: rooms are separate which provides privacy. Very comfortable bed and A/C runs all night. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Suggestions for improvement: food tends to be on the salty side especially at Himitsu. Nightly live entertainment is great but after they are done, have a lively DJ towards the end of the evening by the bar.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Secrets Papagayo was superb. The staff and especially the manager were fantastic. We had a minor issue with our room lock after check in but ther hotel staff were there within literally 3-4 minutes and got us in. Although it turned out that they had to replace the whole lock, the locksmith was there within 5 minutes and everything was handled professionally. The property is fun to walk around and explore and there are a lot of outside excursions. We booked a couples massage for the spa and had excellent massages by the staff. We had a Junior Suite with Plunge pool and the views were magnificent. The scene around the main pool is lively with music and dancing but our room location up on a bluff was very quiet and peaceful. The food in the restaurants was varied and very good. My wife had sashimi at the Asian restaurant and said it was very fresh and delicious. The mushroom risotto in the Italian restaurant was also excellent. We ate most of our breakfasts and lunches at the healthy food restaurant next to the spa and the meals there were all freshly made and delicious. The spa has a separate pool area that is meant to be a quiet pool and we spent most mornings there. The bartenders seem to be able to mix any drink you can think of and room service will bring some drinks to your room (selected from a list). There are daily activities like dance lessons. They have 2 pickleball courts which weren’t busy at all. Overall, we had a great time and were sorry to leave.

Nice resort
Resort was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Food was to be expected for an all inclusive, mediocre at times but ok in certain restaurants. Be prepared to wait for transports but not extended times. You can walk but in the heat, not recommended. Beach is nice but don’t expect Caribbean blues or white sand.

We stayed for 11 nights in December and there were areas that were excellent and others lacking. The resort is low key and spread over the hillside, they do have shuttles running non stop, but if you don’t want to wait and ride be prepared for hilly walks. Definitely bring mosquito spray. Ocean access in a very calm bay, mix of sands but not used much, beach is public so be aware. Wait staff and bar staff were amazing special mention to Armando in portfofino restaurant and bartenders William and Ronnie. Entertainment crew was great really enjoyed the water aerobics. Food at specialty restaurants Portfino-Italian, Himitsu-Asian, Aqua-lighter meals, was all very good. Seaside grill was disappointing, protein over cooked, sauces and sides as ordered were missing and service lacking. Buffet okay. Grounds very well tended. Con’s, property is showing age in areas. The hot water system at peak times 3-5pm daily could not keep up with demand. Was also smell of sewage some nights. Our a/c unit malfunctioned and leaked water. It was repaired quickly but we did lose a night of sleep as it broke overnight. Housekeeping was inconsistent. Lounge chairs in spa area need replacing, many had broken welds, rust, and should not have been in use. Resort is in isolated area so don’t expect to walk to amenities, not a negative, but important to know and be aware driving can be an issue due to the highway you need to access to get to volcanoes and other sites backing up badly morning and evening.
